New Year's Day
Monday

Well, so much for keeping my New Year's Resolution not to let my recurring nightmare terrorize me! Dad was SO SMUG when he suggested I overcome it by the power of positive thinking!
I AM a positive person, and I positively WILL NOT give my life over to sleeplessness caused by events of unknown origin. If I am having a portend of things to come, my life is going to have to go in dramatically different directions. For one, I DO NOT hold a candle to the woman in the "beautiful couple happily ever after" scenario.
When I invented Cu, the huge handsome Indian, he was SUPPOSED to be my fantasy lover, but he quickly married himself off to a brilliant, lovely young woman, then began to produce children and live a full life.
Last night, her parents kept the two children while they went off to a convention somewhere in California. I mean, I could SEE them sitting, holding hands, for goodness sake, in chairs in a fancy conference room that must double as a ballroom, as it had a huge crystal chandelier.
Between speakers, they decide to go outside and walk around a bit. On the sidewalk before the hotel, he sees his boss, who seems to be acting quite strangely. As Cu starts toward him, his boss pulls a pistol out and points it at him. His mind sort of stalls, but hers does not.
Her long auburn hair swirls around her as she dashes to her husband's side, knocking him sideways.
Reflexively, he grabs her as he falls. She lands on top of him.
The gunshot echoes above the traffic noise on the busy street.
He feels her body shudder from the impact. Her blood splatters him.
Other agents start toward the lone gunman, guns out.
Rolling over, he flees for his life.
